I will recommend Ben forever! Regardless what way you look at it, laser tattoo removal isn't great…read more But in my opinion, it wasn't a tenth as bad as people made it seem. I'm a huge chicken, it took me forever to work up the courage to even call for a consultation. I was nervous back when i got the tattoo, but it didn't even compare to how nervous i was for this. I called and wanted to just book a consultation and the receptionist couldn't have been more nice and helpful. She was actually able to book me in later that same day and said if i decided to go forward with the removal after talking with Ben, he could even do my first session right then and there (Pretty sure my heart stopped, i wasn't prepared for that lol) But i went in later that afternoon and ended up having my first treatment! Ben was SUPER calming and and awesome. Explained everything and was honest with me. Said it wasn't going to be fun, but that he guaranteed it wouldn't be as bad as i was probably making it out to be. And he was right. He even gave me a sucker right before he went to town lol. I was really surprised how quick it was. My tattoo isn't big by any means, but i'd say it was about a minute tops. It feels and sounds EXACTLY like an elastic band being snapped on your skin. Mixed with a really warm sensation. He uses a cold air machine which REALLY helps with the pain. I'll be back for at least another 3-5 sessions i'd say, but having gone through it now, i'm not nervous at all. I highly highly recommend this place if you're looking to remove a tattoo. Its very clean and tidy, and Ben is really great at what he does. You can tell he takes his business very seriously and knows what he's doing.

Now everyone compliments me on how great my eyebrows look so nature. Even my best friend who does not give out compliments about make-up or looks says I look great with eyebrows again and is NOW thinking about having it done too.

Friendly staff. Lots of services. Pricy…read more I've known about external affairs for a very long time as I frequent tons of spas. I won a giveaway and was able to try the services. I had my facial consult which was neat because they took photos to see problem areas on my skin. I found the consult to not be so helpful. I was recommended things that other spas would refuse to do to my skin because it was too harsh. I'm super careful and knowledgeable about different treatments so this kind of sent off a red flag for me. They really only recommended treatments which they had the machines for which was pretty limited from what I am accustomed to from going to medical spas. I also was actually taken back by the prices as they were alot more than other places I've been to. Hence probably why I never tried them before. Anyways...I ended up being model for a hydra facial Deluxe for $235 and got 50% off my treatment. The tech was actually new and I felt like she didn't give me a proper treatment because I could feel that she had missed some areas and didn't focus on my problematic areas (nose and chin). Luckily I was using a gift card and got a discount for the treatment. But if I had paid full price I would definitely have been disappointed. Overall. They have good options available for treatments and plenty of products which I am yet to try. And maybe I'll come back for one of their specials. But my skin didn't feel or look as glorious as it typically did compared to getting a $235 treatment elsewhere. So I'm not sure I can justify the full price from this experience. It was overall a positive experience but a few things were off for me. I am a spa addict and I have extremely high expectations of going to a spa for treatments so take this with a grain of salt.

The person I spoke with was very friendly and helpful. The shop is really clean and very welcoming. Everyone we encountered seemed to genuinely be happy to be working there. We filled out some paperwork and then waited for our turn! I didn't go into the room with her, but my partner did and he said that Michelle was really great. She took the time to make sure the teen was comfortable and understood what was going to happen - she also went over aftercare thoroughly and made sure we were set up for success. The jewelry was all good quality, and the prices were quite reasonable. The septum piercing, jewelry and aftercare solution came in under $150.00. I will absolutely head to Red Loon for future piercings!

The location is in Riel industrial park, just a few minutes off the Ray Gibbon exit from the Henday. The studio is on the second floor so if mobility is an issue, this shop might not be for you. It's an open concept top floor shop - beautiful, airy, and bright. Our piercings all healed okay, though I think it would have been better if we had been given options of non pronged noise piercings because they caught on masks, sheets, etc. my nose finally started healing once I purchased a flat style piece of jewelry elsewhere. Booking, waivers, and payments were all made electronically. Environment was spotless just as you'd hope for at a tattoo and piercing shop.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys, and will come back anytime I need work done!…read more I had two pretty easy one-colour tattoos scheduled for the same day, and had Kate as my artist. These were my first, and I was not sure what my pain threshold would be, but I was determined to do it! Kate is friendly and SO efficient! I couldn't believe how fast she knocked these out! One on my inner arm, and the other on my calf (gotta admit, I twitched, because there was some serious shading happening). But I appreciated the sheet they sent me beforehand with everything I might need (snacks and a pillow, ftw!) I couldn't believe I was done in just over 2 hours, so my price was less than quoted. The shop is immaculate, and for someone like me who had always been intimidated by the thought of a "tattoo parlor," it put me completely at ease. The music was cool 80s/90s rock and grunge, and I was completely relaxed there and with Kate. I was given good after-instructions for care and cleaning, as well. Other artists came over to check to see what she was working on, and were friendly and chatty. If you want new ink, come here! You won't regret it! I now want to plan a few more!

I was surprised at how little it hurt. I mean...it's not pleasant having your cooch groomed, but I was expecting to be like Steve Carell in The 40-Year Old Virgin. Nope! Aced it! It's out almost before you have a chance to react. I spent around $50 for the French variety with tip, and definitely plan on coming back for more services.

I am writing to share my horrendous experience with Beauty Rewind. In January, I had a lip filler…read moreprocedure with Aly that left me severely deformed. The filler caused unsightly pockets, lumps, and bumps in my lips, and overall a bo*ched look as seen in photo 1 attached. Despite having had filler procedures before, the clinic insisted that my swollen appearance was normal, despite my face being swollen for almost two weeks, where I could barely open my eyes, nose was swollen. A second opinion confirmed this was abnormal. Over the next 4.5 months, I endured three dissolving sessions to correct the issue. My lips remain disfigured, especially when I smile. The bo*ched procedure severely impacted my smile and confidence. I had to wear a mask to hide my deformed lips during social engagements, including work and my cousin's engagement party. This persisted throughout January and February, some of March preventing me from attending daily social activities, work, gym, volunteer. The state of my lips during January and February can be seen in Photo #1, during this time my work made an exception and let me work from home. Despite visiting the clinic twice, the nurses insisted my appearance was normal and assured me I would be fine. I had to take off most of January to work from home and was advised to wait a month before dissolving, leading to more time off for swelling and healing. Even after the dissolving procedure in March and two more visits, nothing was resolved. The inside skin of my lips bulged out, and bumps remained. Drinking was difficult due to the disfiguration, with liquids often seeping out the sides of my lip. This has turned into a relentless ordeal, affecting my ability to show my face in public. Despite this, I continued to work with the clinic, hoping for a resolution. However, their policies are inconsistently enforced, and they refuse to assist you. Their patient care practices disappear once they realize their mistake is costly. Twice this year, I had to reschedule appointments due to unforeseen circumstances--once due to a doctor-ordered quarantine and another time because my car was hit. The clinic falsely claimed I had canceled eight times, ignoring that unforeseen events can happen within 48 hours of an appointment. When I called to reschedule due to a legal matter involving a hit-and-run, the clinic abruptly informed me I was no longer allowed to book appointments and would be taking my $100 deposit, which was never enforced before, and was never given a warning. Keep in mind, if you call within the 48-hour cancellation time to reschedule, you will be marked automatically in their system for late cancellation, which is what happened with me earlier this year. Additionally, after reviewing my emails, I noticed I would receive emails, where the email would say the time and date of my appointment and say that it has been changed to the same time and date originally booked for - which makes absolutely no sense. Lastly, I want to add that it's been hard enough to come in for dissolving after dissolving hoping my lips will return back to normal, the distress caused by the clinic manager has been an additional stressor. I am beyond frustrated and upset as this experience has destroyed my smile and confidence, and I paid for a procedure that left my lips disfigured. I urge anyone considering this clinic to research the practitioners and their education thoroughly. Beauty Rewind does not care about patient care once the procedure is done, and your face is disfigured. They do not treat patients well if something goes wrong, barely claiming responsibility, and will stop responding, & take your money. With my sister getting married in one month at a 700-person event, I am left to figure things out on my own. I am now seeking legal advice for the disfiguration caused, incompetent management and lack of empathy/patient care. I strongly advise against choosing Beauty Rewind for any procedures. I wish I could attach full photos, however, I would like my patient privacy to be respected.
